Whether or Not to Use Scent Block

A big question hunters always ask is whether or not they should use a scent block.  Does it help?  What kind?  Where?  When?  How often?  It isn't an exact science, which is why many are still undecided.

Scent block can work in a number of ways.  Its goal is to cover up the "human" scent that animals with very sensitive noses can recognize or to give the hunter an animal type of smell.  Either method is a good idea, but is it really worth it in the long run?  Does it have any impact on the hunt?
